Dear P3 Families,

Another school year has gone by. It seems like yesterday when we had nervous, wide eyed little ones walking into our classroom, unsure about this strange and unfamiliar place!  Now, here we are saying a bittersweet goodbye to our Kindergartners, in awe of how much all the children have grown, and getting excited for the new faces that will greet us next school year.

May has been a short, but eventful month. Mother’s Day was such a sweet celebration, an occasion the children really looked forward to. They loved creating their gifts, and it was such a heart warming moment seeing their eyes light up when all their mommies and grandmas came to have snacks and tea!


Our field trip to the Shark Reef was such a success and was truly enjoyed by all the children. The animals, along with the guided tour, was extremely informative and interesting. All the parent volunteers were AMAZING this year! We are overwhelmed with gratitude, as we had a year with outstanding parent involvement. Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts!

Perhaps the most exciting day of the school year was Field Day! Although the weather was not very cooperative, the rain managed to stay away and the children still had a blast with all the obstacle courses, water balloons, and popsicles. A huge thank you to Coach Bob and our parent volunteers for making this day as flawless as possible!

In addition to all our fun activities this month, the children remained busy in the classroom learning about the people, plants, animals and places of Africa. They loved learning all about insects (especially the ant farm), and continued to power through their math and language goals.The all time favorite was learning how to play Mancala, an ancient African two-player game dated back to the construction of the Pyramids! We are also so proud of how far students have progressed in their reading! Kudos to you, P3!

The last day of school is on Friday, May 24th. Please be reminded that pick up is at 11:15 AM. Whether you are attending camp, staying in town, or travelling this summer, we wish you a safe and fun filled break. The first day of school for the year 2019-2020 is Monday, August 12th, 2019. 

Sincerely,

Primary 3 Team
